Chapter 25: Twin
Chapter 25 Twins
Yuheng Garden was very lively on this day. Mammy Li just left on the front foot, and Gu Yuan sent people on the back foot, not only people, but also some broken things. Gu Yuan almost thought of something. It was delivered in a hurry.
Tea, incense, four treasures of the study, chessboard, felt, rattan ball, glazed bead, goat milk, jade pendant, jade wrench… Just cleaning up these trivial things made Gu Yanfei feel happy.
Jubilee counted the same:
“This is the best hair tip, and the slaves have to put them away in person.”
“This jade pendant and chessboard are for girls.”
“These should be for sunny days.”
“…”
“Meow!” The milk cat was very satisfied with this, and patted the takraw ball with one paw.
The small takraw ball rolled back and forth in the chasing of the milk cat, and the crisp bells could be heard endlessly.
Gu Yanfei fell asleep to the sound of the bell, and was woken up by the sound of the bell.
She had a leisurely breakfast before being led by Mammy Li to the Gu’s ancestral hall on the west side of the Hou residence.
The Baishi Yong Road leading to the ancestral hall is clean, with pines and cypresses planted on both sides, solemn and quiet, and a plaque hangs at the entrance of the Baosha in front, and the four characters “Gu’s Ancestral Hall” are written in a dance.
Today’s weather is very good, the blue sky is like washing, the golden sun is pouring down, and the five main rooms stand quietly under the blue sky and white clouds, the eaves are upturned.
When Gu Yan arrived, there was already a shadow of fragrant clothes on the temples, and the female family members of each room of the Hou Mansion were there, laughing and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
“Second girl, go this way.” Li Mamma walked ahead with a smile to lead Gu Yanfei on the way, being cordial but not overly enthusiastic.
Everyone in the Baosha also noticed Gu Yanfei’s arrival, and dozens of scorching eyes flocked to Gu Yanfei like a tidal wave. Some of them looked at him, some were curious, some were scornful, and some were casual.
Mrs. Gu Tai also looked at Gu Yanfei, her eyes burning like a torch, and the words Gu Yuan said to her yesterday echoed in her ears:
“Grandmother, since my sister is back, shouldn’t we open the ancestral hall as soon as possible? I think it’s better to choose a day than to hit the sun, it’s better to choose tomorrow.”
Mrs. Gu Tai narrowed her eyes, her lips tightly pressed into a straight line.
For the marriage of Gu and Fang, she had planned to open an ancestral hall and change the genealogy as soon as she returned to Beijing, but it was different for her to mention it, which made her feel coerced.
Mrs. Gu Tai was not very happy. Before her second granddaughter came back, Gu Yuan had always been very filial to her.
Gu Yanfei glanced lightly at the people in front of him, and the familiar faces matched the names in his memory one by one.
Her steps stopped outside Baosha, and the sun plated a faint golden halo around her body.
Chenhui fell into the bottom of her eyes, reflecting her pupils shining brightly, and her fair skin like jade shone with a pearl-like luster.
The face is clear and beautiful, the bearing is high, and there is a temperament like the sun and stars in the bones.
Several Gu family girls hid behind the ladies and whispered quietly. Occasionally, words such as “Longfang”, “Second Sister” and “Like Big Brother” floated over intermittently.
“Second sister.” Gu Yunxiang was the first to speak.
She smiled sweetly, a pair of shallow dimples appeared on both cheeks, gentle and generous, and amiable.
“What a handsome little girl!” A middle-aged beautiful woman in her early thirties with an oval face praised Gu Yanfei in a friendly tone, a gentle smile appeared on her fair face, “This is the second niece, she really looks like a sister-in-law… I’m your second aunt.”
This beautiful woman is Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou.
Gu Yanfei greeted Mrs. Gu Tai and Mrs. Wang: “Mrs. Tai, second lady.”
The name made everyone’s expressions a little subtle, and they exchanged glances secretly.
Mrs. Gu Tai’s face was as deep as water, and she directly turned her anger towards Gu Yuan to Gu Yanfei, and said in a icy tone, “Come earlier next time.”
As she said that, her eyes swept across the few strands of yellow and white hair on Gu Yanfei’s shoulders, her brows furrowed, and she said, “Hurry up and get rid of your cat, that cat is weird, it must be a monster!”
She felt uncomfortable when she thought of a cat in the house.
Gu Yanfei smiled without saying a word, and sat down on his own.
“…” Madam Gu Tai’s heart was full of evil fire, and the undercurrents in her eyes were surging.
In a stiff atmosphere, a gray-clothed woman hurriedly came to report that the prince, the patriarch, and the others had arrived, so all the female relatives, including Mrs. Gu Tai, looked straight ahead.
The five doors in front of them were wide open, and a group of men of different ages and appearances filed in.
Walking in the front is an old man in black clothes with gray hair and gray beard, who is in his sixties, with vigorous steps and full of energy.
“I’m really bothering my uncle today.” Alongside the old man was a blue-robed man in his thirties. He was tall and had handsome features, but unfortunately he was a little bloated. He was the current Marquis of Dingyuan, Gu Jian.
Treating the patriarch of the Gu family, Gu Jian was very respectful.
“It should be, the family does not speak two languages.” The patriarch stroked his beard and said with a bold smile.
The two masters from the fourth and fifth rooms of the Hou Mansion followed closely behind, and they were also talking to the elders in a pleasant atmosphere.
Gu Yuan followed behind him without saying a word. He was only seventeen years old. His handsome face was still a little childish, but he was tall and tall, making him stand out among the crowd, and his gestures showed an air of arrogance.
The female relatives surrounded Mrs. Gu Tai, took a few steps forward, and greeted each other politely.
After a while, everyone sat down in the front hall of the ancestral hall one after another. Gu Jian and the patriarch sat side by side at the top, Mrs. Gu Tai was at the bottom, and everyone else took their seats.
On such a big occasion, most people didn’t have the qualifications to speak at all, and most of them were silent, some played with handkerchiefs, some flew out of the sky, some secretly yawned, and some quietly looked at Gu Yanfei.
After a few greetings, Mrs. Gu Tai started talking about the business, raised her hand and pointed at Gu Yanfei who was sitting beside her.
“Patriarch, this girl is Sister Chang’s twin sister. Back then, their mother Xie Shi had a difficult childbirth. After giving birth to the two of them, she gave up.”
“You also know that at that time, the border area was in chaos, and the wet nurse took care of the two sisters by herself. She was unable to do what she could, and accidentally lost the girl and came to the capital with only sister Connie…”
Mrs. Gu Tai had already made up her speech, and no matter how the crowd reacted, she talked freely.
The patriarch and the patriarchs looked at each other and exchanged glances silently.
The story of the twins is really outrageous, obviously made up, but no one has questioned.
Mrs. Gu Tai and the patriarch and the others passed their anger early. Yesterday, she asked her cronies to give hints. To put it bluntly, today the patriarch and the others are just going through the motions.
It doesn’t matter what the truth is, the key point is that this matter is beneficial to their entire Gu family.
